Article Synopsis
  • A series of new sulfur heteroarenes that are similar in electronic structure to dibenzo[g,p]chrysene were created using a two-step photocyclization process.
  • The first step produces intermediate sulfur heteroarenes, which are comparable to phenanthrene, efficiently, while the second step is more effective if one of the aryl groups is thienyl, enhancing electron density during the reaction.
  • However, most of these new compounds have low solubility in common solvents and do not exhibit enhanced electron donor capabilities typical of heteroaromatic compounds.
